Abstract
ABSTRACT A “new alliance” between neuroscience and psychotherapy is currently taking place, with important European contributions reviewed in this article. Recent neuroscientific developments are attempting to re-integrate the mind–body unity by proposing that the mind is linked not only to the body but to specific neuronal brain structures. Neuroscientific explorations are contributing concepts such as the relational mind, implicit memory, and mirror neurons. Related concepts and findings confirm experimental and clinical issues tied to developmental psychology and psychotherapy. Key themes emerge from the intersection of these fields, including the importance of implicit relational knowledge, analogic and metaphoric languages, the empathic underpinning of therapeutic relationships, and the dynamics of therapeutic change. This new mind–body alliance opens up new doors for inquiry and for understanding for both theory and practice of the psychotherapeutic process.
期刊介绍：
Designed with the practicing clinician in mind, the Journal of Family Psychotherapy features a case study orientation that makes for very interesting reading. Highlights include: •Case Studies: Focused studies of a single case seen in family psychotherapy, illustrating the etiology, maintenance, and/or process of change of the problem. •Program Reports: Descriptions of treatment programs that have been used successfully to treat specific problems or new orientations used generally in family therapy. Clinical case examples are included.
